    Some people actually do breed smaller frogs to use as feeders. Generally for snakes that dont do well or wont feed on rodents. Could it be done yes, but I agree there are better options.

    how can a person who likes frogs feed its frog a frog? There has to be a place that has something else to sell for other food options for your frog, maybe you could try online,bait shop?

    well now folks, let's not jump down anyone's throat here. there are frog species who do feed on other frogs. and keep in mind that Singapore is not a fully developed country, like say, the US or Great Britain or Australia. some places just don't have access to the same items we do. POyoyo, do you have access to any larger roach species there? or do you have access to live rodents, such as mice that you could set up a small breeding tank for them?

    personally, i wouldn't feed a white's another frog. although, they are opportunistic feeders and most certainly do feed on smaller frogs in the wild, anything you were to catch locally to feed it may have toxins which the white's has not built up an immunity against. so as a "treat", it doesn't really seem worth it to risk the health of your frog.
